IMPROVEMENT IN NECK-TlE FASTENINGS.

a The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part ofthe same.

To all whom it may concern: p

' Be it known that I, GEORGE W. Bisnor, of Baltimore, in the county ofBaltimore and in 'the State of Maryland, have invented certa-in new anduseful Im- ,provements in Neck-tie Fastening; and do hereby declare thatthe following is a full, clear, and exact dcscription thereof, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters .of referencemarked thereon making a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof a neck-tie fastening, as will be hereinafter fully set fort-h.

I n order-to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to makehand use the same, I will new proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which-Figure l is a transverse vertical section, and

Figure 2 is a front view of vmy improved neck-tie fastclung.

A represents a plate, ent ont and lient in proper Vshape to be insertedunder the turned-down portion of the collar.

lhe wings of this plate maybe made solid, if so desire?, but I prefermaking then as shown in the draw ingr that is, slotted or cutout, so asto be merely a frame..

I '1 thecenter ofthe plate A are-two holes, aw', and at the lower edgeis a notch, b.

l'. represents a hook made of spring wire, having a ring or loop, (Z,formed at one end, in which the rubber loop C is fastened.

rlhe tie is folded around the plate A, and the hook B passed through thetie Iand through the lower hole a, from the front side.

The point of the hook is then passed through the upper hole d', as shownin iig. l, securing the tie to the date. l, The ring l on the other endof the hook B then catches in the notch b of the plate, and when therubber loop Gis placed on the shirt-button andthe wings of the plat-einserted under the turn'-do\vn portion of the collar, it is securelyheld in position.

The ends of the tie are then folded across the front, completely hidingthe hook B from view.

Having thus fully described my invention,

That I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

.lhe plate A, provided with holes (a a and notch 71, used in combinationwith the spring-,hook B and loop C, substantially as and for thepurposes. herein set forth.

. 1n testimony that I cla-im the foregoing, I have hereunto set my handthis 28th dafy of September,
